Edit someone elses photos

Today we will try something new.

1.Each person will upload 2 original pictures.

2. Go to a classmates blog and download the pictures.

3. For each picture make at least 4 changes. You can be either super artistic and completeley change the picture or be more straight forward and cnovert to black and white, adjust levels, burn and dodge and use the clone tool.

Or, you can, increase color saturation, use the clone tool, use filters, make a collage...use your creative expression.

For each picture, show both the original plus the picture you modified. Write down the chages you made and the name of the person you downloaded from.
